Heart Happiness...

While I am on a streak of doing quick and easy cards, thought i'd throw a valentines card into the mix. This valentines card features the Heart Happinessstamp set (145769).I am just loving using stamps to create my own backgrounds at the moment and there are so many fab reasons to do so. You not only can get creative with stamping a larger area, you save your DSP for other projects, and in this case, get to use most of the stamps in the set. On this particular project this also extends to decorating the inside of your card and envelope! A fab way to get the most out of a stamp set. I simply stamped the hearts randomly using So, on to the card...Here is what you will need:

Today I am sharing my entry for the Global Design project#GDP124 CASE the Designer Challenge. To CASE a project you take the elements you like from the design and make it your own. It could be the colours, layout or stamp set.

CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit

The challenge is to CASE from the card design below;

I wanted to focus on CASEing the wreath so pulled together a few different stamp sets, some old and some new. I also really loved the thin Crumb Cake boarder and bow, so CASED these from the design also.

As it's that time of year, hearts was a must and they work lovely with the wreath design. Of course I had to add some sparkle on the raised hearts and with the Sale-a-bration ribbon, which unfortunately the photo does not do justice! Wink of Stella was added to all the hearts which also really set off that sparkle in the ribbon!

This was a simple yet lovely project to make, I also made it in pinks using Powder Pink and Calypso Coral. A suitable card not just for Valentines Day, but also Weddings, Anniversaries and new arrivals too! More pics below :D

Hanging Chocolate Coin Treats

This project was inspired by Stamping with Peg. A super fun hanging treat suitable for the tree, a stocking filler, gifts for the class or for your colleagues and brilliant if you do craft fairs. Once you have all the pieces cut and ready to go, assembly is quick and easy and they look super cute! I made a bunch of these last year, and they sold really well on this years craft stall (my first ever one!). Lets make some treats...
